This is an abstract of the Year-books down to the writer's own time, and is principally based on the work by Fitzherbert bearing the same title. It also contains some valuable original matter. First published in 1568, Brookes work completely abridges the Year Books of Henry VIIs and Henry VIIIs reigns. Under four hundred and four alphabetical headings, Brooke abridged close to 21,000 cases. Abridgements such as that of Brooke set the pattern for contemporary digests of case-law.

Description:
Two parts in one volume.Illustrated title pages in decorative woodcut architectural borders, woodcut initials. Thick 8vo. Modern brown morocco, spine with raised bands and gilt lettering. London: In Aedibus Richardi Tottell, 1576. Second Edition of Brooke's abstract of the year-books down to the writer's own time. (Sweet and Maxwell I, p. 187. STC 3828; Beale R471 and R472.) It was based principally on Fitzherbert's work, but contains much new material. Brooke's work fully abridges the Year Books of the reigns of Henry VII and Henry VIII. He abridges over 20,000 cases under alphabetical headings. Coke considered it "a worthy and painful work and an excellent repertory or table for the Year Books of the law." A little-known Shakespearean association. The closing lines of Shakespeare's Prologue to the last act of Henry V are as follows: "Then brook abridgement, and your eyes advance / After your thoughts, straight back again in France." "Then brook abridgement" was Shakespeare's hidden joke for the…

BASILEAE: APUD NIC. EPISCOPIUM IUN., 1558. In 16. Dim. 17x12 cm. Pp. 32 (n.n.)+350+2 (n.n.). Rara edizione del 1558 di quest'opera scritta da Cristophe Longueil (1488-1522) umanista francescano. Nel 1517 Longueil strinse amicizia con Pietro Bembo e Jacopo Sadoleto ma questo non impedì che nei suoi confronti si scatenasse una forte campagna diffamatoria tanto che fu costretto a trafserirsi a Padova dove si spense. Ammiratore incondizionato di Cicerone, fu un grande propagandista del ciceronismo prima in Francia, poi a Roma. Questo suo epistolario non è una mera imitazione della produzione ciceroniana, ma denota una ricerca stilistica ed un'eleganza espositiva di rara freschezza e vivacità. Nella prima parte la sua vita, poi l'epistolario. Numerose note manoscritte all'interno. Marca editoriale all'ultima carta. Titolo manoscritto al taglio inferiore.

Da questo momento in poi non si sa più nulla di lui: sembra che sia stato assassinato a scopo di furto da uno dei suoi servitori. Il volume è un'opera didattica latina che riporta termini utilizzati in sentenze classiche latine.
